Finally Escaped!!

The last weekend of the school holidays with fine weather forecasted and dog sitters back in town we managed to escaped Canberra! It was a snap decision we made on Thursday night booking camping at Bungonia National Park for Friday and Saturday nights.

Why Bungonia? Neither of us had been there, looked like an awesome place with a spectacular gorge and it's only about 1.5 hours from Canberra (very important as Andy had a meeting at work finishing at 4pm on Friday afternoon).

Turns out that I wasn't needed at work on Friday which worked well as the girls and I organised and packed in the morning. We drove out along the Federal Highway towards Goulburn passing Lake George which actually looked like a lake - at least the rain is good for something!! Records show the last time it was full was in the 1990's.



We arrived at the campground in the light a bonus of daylight saving returning! The options of campsites were plentiful with only 2 other sites occupied. Ella and Andy scoured for the best spot and found our site at an area known as the Greater Keyhole! Post bbq dinner, the temperature dropped significantly and without a fire (prohibited in this campground) it was an early retreat to bed.
